Our prediction for this MLS match:
There will be fireworks when Philadelphia Union and DC United face each other at Talen Energy Stadium in the MLS derby. Both sides have big ambitions for the 2019 MLS campaign, but Philadelphia, who are eyeing top position in the Eastern Conference, are seen as favourites to win Sunday’s football match. The U have been producing fine performances in the Major League Soccer this term, but they will have to be at their sharpest in the remainder of the season as well if they are to clinch top position in the standings.
Anyhow, seeing that they recorded back-to-back wins over Chicago Fire and Houston Dynamo in previous two home games in the Major League Soccer, we believe that there is a big value in betting on Jim Curtin’s troops. DC United are a real force to be reckoned with at home, but given their anything but good away record, Wayne Rooney and Co. are likely to return to Washington DC empty-handed.
Highlighted Player (Haris Medunjanin):

After spending four seasons at AZ Alkmaar, Haris Medunjanin joined Spanish side Valladolid and he appeared in 42 league games for Pucela. The Bosnian midfielder played for the likes of Sparta Rotterdam, Maccabi Tel Aviv and Gaziantepspor in the past as well and in 2014 he returned to Spain, signing a contract with La Liga side Deportivo La Coruna.
Medunjanin scored two goals in 24 league appearances for the Galician outfit and in 2016 he joined his former club Maccabi Tel Aviv on a one-and-a-half-year deal. The left-footed footballer, who was born on March 8, 1985 won two European Championship titles with Netherlands U-21 team (2006, 2007), but he decided to represent Bosnian and Herzegovina on senior level.
He made his first start for the Balkan Dragons in a 1-0 loss to Portugal in the 2010 FIFA World Cup play-off match. Haris Medunjanin currently plays for Philadelphia Union and his contract with the MLS club expires on January 31, 2017.
Highlighted Team (DC United):

D.C. United have been participating in the Eastern Conference of the MLS since 1996. The capital club play their home games at RFK Stadium Washington and they are nicknamed the Black and Red. D.C. United won their fourth MLS Cup in 2004 and in 1998 the club clinched the Copa Interamericana trophy by beating Vasco da Gama of Brazil in the title game.
The Black and Red won the Eastern Conference on five occasions (1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2004) and, as a result, they are regarded as one of the most successful clubs in the history of MLS.
Andy Najar, Eddie Pope, Jaime Moreno, John Harkes, Ryan Nelsen, Christian Gomez, Nick Rimando, Richie Williams, Clyde Simms, Tony Sanneh, Marco Etcheverry and Santino Quaranta are some of the club’s most famous players. Speaking of D.C. United fans, the club has four big supporters groups: La Norte, La Barra Brava, the Screaming Eagles and La Norte and the club’s mascot is Talon, the bald eagle.
